The unofficial theme for this week’s playlist is “lush”. Most of these tracks here sound truly sumptuous, from the dembow-kissed rhythms and premier crooning of UK singer/producer Palmistry on “Lifted” to the bittersweet sounds of “My Hood”, an ode to home by up-and-coming South East London singer Ray BLK and new school grime MC Stormzy. Elsewhere, inc. (aka Daniel and Andrew Aged, former session musician brothers turned R&B auteurs) deliver some arresting pop songwriting on “The Wheel”, while ex-Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard and Fade to Mind label boss Kingdom sound positively weightless on “Baptize”.
Listen to the playlist below.
